TPC Sawgrass HEALS Autism

You are a professional golfer, one of the greatest golfers in the world, competing on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass for the right to be called THE PLAYERS Champion. It is Sunday afternoon late in the final round. You have just survived the first of the final three-hole stretch called “The Gauntlet.” Water-infested and daunting, you know they will determine your fate. You are prepared... 

Happy Birthday, Arnold Palmer

What better way is there to celebrate Arnold Palmer‘s birthday than reminiscing about staying at his Bay Hill Lodge and Club, walking the fairways and thinking about how much the game of golf means to our lives? The Bay Hill Lodge and Club has been a host to a PGA Tour tournament for the last 35 years. One of a select number of “Invitationals” on tour, it is distinctly Palmer’s—whether... 

World Record 179,022 at TPC Scottsdale in 2013 WMPO

The number 179,022 will always be etched in my mind. That’s how many people came out to watch the Waste Management Phoenix Open on Saturday this year. On Saturday, one day alone. It was a record for the tournament and in the history of golf as far as anyone knows. If you explore the Guinness World Record website, there are 82 results for “golf” but no category for the “most...

2013 Players Championship Preview: All the Best to Play TPC Sawgrass

I don’t know about you, but I am getting excited about the Players Championship! Maybe the reason is defending champion Matt Kuchar. It has been nice seeing the American flag waving proudly above Champions Circle for the last year. After all, it had been five years since the last American win by Phil Mickelson in 2007. Since Mickelson’s win, there was the excitement of Sergio Garcia’s... 

Horschel Rocket Lifts off on PGA Tour

Billy Horschel, who grew up on Florida’s Space Coast, was like a rocket in the golfing world that everyone knew was ready to take off sooner or later.  The final Space Shuttle mission ended safely when Atlantis returned home on July 21, 2011 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The Horschel Rocket reached a new altitude with his first PGA Tour win in New Orleans icing the victory with a... 

PLAYERS Past, a Player’s Future: Introducing Carly Ray Goldstein

Golf writer Andy Reistetter loves the history of THE PLAYERS, a major emerging in our lifetime like The Masters did back in the 1960s. In the early days before TPC Sawgrass, the PLAYERS was hosted on different golf courses much like the U.S. Open and PGA Championships today. The East course of Inverrary Country Club in Lauderhill, Florida hosted the 1976 event where Jack Nicklaus won the middle one... 

PGA Village, Heart of the Florida Swing

Merri Daniel and I stopped by the PGA Village in Port St. Lucie, Florida and did something we have never done before—a couples’ golf lesson. How did we get to this point in our golfing relationship? Should we be more mechanical or passionate in our form? How do we find the right golf professional? After all, you can’t do a threesome with just anybody. What’s next, a couples’... 

Lady Trump Outshines the Donald in Florida

I recall being at the Innisbrook Resort in 2008 for the PGA TOUR’s Pods Championship and hearing of its new owner Sheila Johnson. Now five years later, it is time for the Tampa Bay Championship this week on the famed Copperhead Course. While Donald Trump had the televised stage last week at Doral, don’t expect to see as much of Sheila this week. But don’t be surprised if you come...
